1. Why I Love Trend Alert: Celebs Can’t Stop Wearing the Half-Up, Half-Down Hairstyle in My Beauty & Style Studio
Just last prom season, a bride-to-be (who was also doing a mini prom shoot for her sister) sat in my chair, nervous that half-up styles would look too ‘school dance.’ I twisted a few face-framing pieces back, pinned them loosely.
And let the rest cascade in soft waves she literally gasped at the mirror.
This look works because it’s the perfect middle ground:.
It keeps hair off your neck for dancing and photos, but still shows off length and movement.
It’s why I reach for it constantly for prom clients who want romantic but not fussy.
